MOTIVATES ME IS… Lou Holtz and Gary Keller.

THE LAST THING THAT MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD WAS…

My little granddaughter had a little doll and I asked her what the dolly’s name was. She answered “Merida,” so I thought I’d tease her. I asked her, “Mathusola?” and she said “No Grandpa…. Merida!” I said to her again, “Magnolia?” and she leans in, thinking I’m hard of hearing and says, “No Grandpa, Merida!!” I tried it again and said, “Miranda”? She looks at me and says, “Grandpa you’re d*c(k)less!” In total shock, I said, “Excuse me?!” and she tells me again, “You’re d*c(k) less Grandpa!” I look over to my wife who’s in tears and she says,”I think she means ridiculous.”

THE PERFECT DAY WOULD

BE… Helping someone less fortunate than me.

MY FIRST JOB WAS… Picking walnuts and delivering papers.

MY LIFE… Has been an adventure. I’ve been married for 48+ years to my high school sweetheart and we have two great kids and two fabulous grandkids.

I’M CURRENTLY WORKING

ON… Being a better husband, father and grandfather, as well as an inspiration to others.

THE BEST GIFT I’VE EVER

RECEIVED WAS... My life & family. I’ve been blessed with so many things and opportunities that would never have happened if not for them.

THE ACTOR I WOULD WANT TO PLAY ME IN A MOVIE OF MY

LIFE IS... Donnie Wahlberg from Blue Bloods. He’s quick witted, ‘salty’ and loves life.

MY DREAM VACATION WOULD

BE TO… Travel to WWII places with my family and pay my respects to those that have made my adventure possible. Places like Normandy, Herkin Forest and others where great battles took place.

MY WORDS OF WISDOM TO ASPIRING BUSINESS OWNERS...

No matter how tough or dismal things look, NEVER give up. Keep working hard and chasing your dreams and goals! Things are earned, not given!
